How has support for benchmarking (Benchmark module) changed across recent Perl versions?

The Benchmark module in Perl has undergone various changes and enhancements across recent versions, improving its functionality and ease of use for developers. Notable updates include new features for more accurate timing, better handling of large data sets, and an enhanced interface for comparing benchmark results. As Perl continues to evolve, the Benchmark module plays a crucial role in performance testing and profiling, making it an essential tool for developers.

Example Usage of Benchmark Module

use Benchmark; my $n = 10000; # Number of iterations my $t0 = timeit($n, sub { # Code block to benchmark my @arr = (1..100); my $sum = 0; $sum += $_ for @arr; }); print "Time taken: ", timestr($t0), "\n";
